Revision as of 11:26, 6 July 2009

There will be two types of experiences at the Unconference:

Presentations that last 7 minutes with 5 minutes for questions/feedback. Presentations will either be about a project an attendee has done that they think other librarians would be interested in or an idea they have for a library-related project that they'd like feedback on from the audience. There will be 10 of these presentations throughout the day.

Group discussions that last 50 minutes. There will be 10 different discussion groups going on during each of three discussion periods and no more than 10 people can participate in any discussion. The goal of this is to allow everyone to contribute to the discussion.

The presentation and discussion topics will be determined by popular vote by the participants. The voting closed June 22nd at midnight. The open topics will be decided the day of the unconference. While we did have some open topic spaces built into the schedule, some opened because of speaker conflicts.

For the presentations, you will have access to the Internet, a projector, and a computer. For the discussions, you will have access to wireless Internet, but you will need to provide a computer for your table if you want one. You are not obligated to use any of the technology available. Have fun and be creative. This day is all about getting out of the box.
